Affordable parking for York motorists, whatever congestion charges or road tolls are introduced

Friday, February 26th, 2010

With York the latest UK city to consider introducing either a London-style congestion charge or a combination of toll rods and parking levies on local businesses, many commuters are already looking at alternatives.

The City Of York Council is currently going through a period of consultation, looking at various schemes to avoid gridlock, predicted to make the city’s roads unusable over the next ten years.

According to Councillor Dave Merrett, chairman of of York Council’s cross-party traffic congestion scrutiny committee: “A radical future solution will be required if we are to avoid the further serious spread of congestion  outside the current problem areas, increasing delays and disruption to motorists and bus users, continuing air quality problems and negative effects on both the York economy and the quality of life in the city.”

But some local residents and commuters to the city are cynical about the Council’s consultation.

“They call it a consultation, but it’s a plan for yet another stealth tax on motorists. And whatever they say, whatever the opposition, you just know that they will go ahead with it. Public transport in York just isn’t up to the job of handling commuters, tourists and shoppers. If they force drivers off the roads with prohibitive charges, the damage to local businesses will be catastrophic,” one disgruntled driver told 24 7 Parking.

24 7 Parking has wide experience in sourcing parking spaces in London and has now rolled out its service across the UK, including in the City of York.

“Whatever decision York’s councillors come to, we are here for motorists,” says 247 Parking MD Julia Callan. “Although it makes sense to use public transport if you can, for many businessmen and tradesmen, there is no alternative to the car. If taxes are levied on existing parking places, we can find affordable alternative parking at a discount for York’s motorists. We can also find parking for motorists around the boundaries of the congestion charge or toll road zone. We have helped many London motorists beat high congestion charge and parking fees. York’s drivers should contact us as soon as possible.”

Long Term Parking In Waterloo From A Leading Provider

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The regular commuter to Waterloo will be aware of the difficulties encountered when trying to find suitable, long term parking in Waterloo.

It is one of the most sought after areas for parking in London and being within the congestion zone will not be cheap. It is very possible for the hourly charge for car parking in Waterloo to be more than the minimum wage.

There are however a number of ways to find cheap car parking in Waterloo.

The first will obviously be to spend time driving around the area looking for that elusive cheap parking space each day.

This approach, however, will simply not be an option for most. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. One could end up with parking in Waterloo that is anything but convenient and on having found the space one day, find it is not available the next.

The second option, which is rapidly growing in popularity, is that of pre-booking your long term car parking space in Waterloo.

At 24 7 Parking, we have been sourcing long term parking in London for both individuals and companies alike since 2002.

As a company, we do not restrict our searches to the traditional car parking areas. We have benefited our customers by providing secure off street parking at significantly reduced prices in comparison to the traditional car parks.

Help For Sourcing Long Term Parking In London

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

For any company that is based in London wanting to look after their key personnel and customers, being able to offer long term parking facilities for free or at a discounted rate could help.

Everyone who works or regularly visits London will be more than aware of the pressure on car parking in London and there is little hope on the horizon for the problem to be alleviated.

Put simply, the demand for buildings and office space offers far better financial benefit for most developers than car parking space.

As most will have realised, car parking in London is one of the areas where costs just seem to keep rising.

As the government strives to reduce public spending by restricting funding awards to borough councils, year in, year out, there will be increased pressure on these very same borough councils to generate further income.  It is pretty much inevitable, unfortunately, that the charges for car parking in London will increase as councils strive to generate income.

At 24 7 Parking we have been providing safe, secure long term parking in London since 2002 and now have thousands of customers, both individuals and companies, who regularly take advantage of our skills in sourcing long term parking in central London.

Many of the car parking in central London on offer is either  CCTV controlled or manned by security guards, so any threat to personal safety and the vehicle whilst parked is kept to a minimum.

The number of people looking to secure cheap, long term parking in London will increase proportionately and that is where we can help.
